UNITED NATIONS - The United Nations said on Thursday it was trying to convince North Korea not to cut the number of international aid staff deployed by the world body to carry out “critical” food, nutrition and health work in the Asian country.
The U.N. estimates 10.3 million people - almost half the country’s population - are in need and some 41% of North Koreans are undernourished, while in February Pyongyang said it was facing a food shortfall this year and had to halve rations, blaming drought, floods and sanctions. He said that in 2018 the United Nations and other international aid groups reached more than 2 million people with humanitarian assistance.
Kim said the number of international staff with the World Food Programme should be reduced “according to the amount of food aid to be provided” once the agency and North Korean agree how to implement a plan for 2019 to 2021.
